Seeing such a big farm, Yang Xiuxiu was so happy.

Although there was nothing on the farm now, she and Shen Dali walked around the entire farm and didn't feel tired at all.

"Mother-in-law, go change your clothes first, or you'll get sick."

"Hey! Okay..."

"By the way, Lin Ting, after you finish breakfast, go to the county to rent some cows. I'll go to the village to find some people and go plow the land with your father-in-law."

"Ok!"

After Yang Xiuxiu changed her clothes, Lin Ting handed Shen Wanyi to her.

He drove a horse-drawn carriage to Wenzhu County.

There is a place in Wenzhu County that specializes in renting cattle. Now is not the busy farming season, so Lin Ting rented a cattle quickly.

"Madam, if you only rent the ox, the plow is not included. Do you want to rent the plow?"

The rent for an ox was forty coins a day. Lin Ting rented ten oxen. She wanted to plow all the land in the farm.

After planting the corn, if there is any land left, you can plant other things.

"How much is this plow for a day?"

The boss raised a finger to Lin Ting and said, "Ten cents a day, and with an ox, an ox and a plow, that's fifty cents a day."

Fifty wen, ten cows means five hundred wen a day. It will take about two days to plow the entire Ningjiang Village.

"Please help me drive the cattle to the farm!"

"It's natural!"

The boss has to look after his own cows himself to feel at ease. Moreover, he can only make money from this business during the busy farming season. In this month, he still has to take the cows out to graze every day.

Now that he finally has work to do, of course he has to serve well.

"By the way, young lady, I have some cow dung here. It's a good thing. Do you want to buy some to fertilize the land? It's very cheap."

The boss really wants to sell more things. Ordinary farmers will not come to buy these, but the wealthy families in the farm also have cattle.

So he had a lot of piled up cow dung.

"No need, I have plenty here too."

The Wang family's cattle belonged to the Wang family's property. After being taken away by the government, Ningjiang Village still left a cowshed there, and there was a lot of cow dung in the cowshed.

The boss used an ox to pull a cart with ten plows on it. The boss pulled the cart and drove the ox for more than half an hour before reaching Ningjiang Village.

Shen Dali and ten other people in the village who were about the same age as Shen Dali had been waiting there for a long time.

But they were not idle either. They helped repair the canals and cut the grass in the areas that were not burned.

Lin Ting paid them 30 cents a day, the same as the wages for building the house.

They were the same age and lived in Wushan Village, but not a word of news could be heard. It was as if overnight, the entire Ningjiang Village became the property of Shen Dali's family.

During the two months that they built their new house, everyone in the village knew that their family had become rich.

Now he has bought such a big farm, which is really enviable.

Unconsciously, those who had originally ignored Shen Dali gradually began to flatter him.

I will help him in any way I can, even if it doesn't seem to do any good at the moment, but if one day I have nothing to eat.

Shen Dali owns such a large farm that he would lend them some food in an emergency.

"Da Li, after suffering for half your life, your blessing has finally arrived."

Shen Dali was praised by the villagers and his face was full of smiles. He didn't know how many years had passed since he laughed so straight.

"Hehe...hehe...I only know how to farm."

Shen Dali has always been not good at speaking, but he is really happy.

"Shen Dali, Qingzhou is now studying for a career in government at the academy, and Lin Ting is good at making money. Maybe you will be the father of a high-ranking official in the future.

When the time comes, don’t forget us villagers. You’ve suffered all the hardships in your life in the first half, and the rest of your life will be smooth sailing.”

Only in the fields did Shen Dali seem to find his home ground, and he enjoyed the praise.

"Those are all illusions. Right now, we just want to grow these fields well. As long as we don't go hungry, I'll be satisfied."

They were all about the same age, and seeing Shen Dali happy, they could joke with him and laugh at him together.

At this time, Lin Ting and the cattle farm owner drove Niu Ye to Ningjiang Village. Shen Dali was better at harnessing cattle to plow the fields than Lin Ting.

It rained heavily last night and it’s cloudy again today, which is just right for getting the work done in the fields, and it’s not too hot.

The affairs of Ningjiang Village were handed over to Shen Dali. Lin Ting returned to Wushan Village and saw that the new house was almost finished.

Although the yard is still full of buildings, the only things left of the blue brick part are the outer wall paving bricks and the stone steps of the gate.

The extra foundation outside the house was also paved with blue bricks to prevent grass from growing and snakes and insects from getting close.

Huang the carpenter's men were also installing doors and windows. After the weather was good in two days, they would paint all the wooden parts thoroughly, clean and decorate the house, and it would be ready for occupancy.

By the next day, part of the land in Ningjiang Village had been plowed out.

Lin Ting drained the moisture from the corn kernels that had been soaked for a day and a night with a linen cloth and took them to Ningjiang Village.

This was the first time the people here were planting corn, so she wanted to go and watch it in person, and even check to see how wide the distance between each plant was.

By the time Lin Ting arrived at Ningjiang Manor, Shen Dali had already led his men to clear the land out in batches, which was also what Lin Ting requested.

The corn planted now can only be harvested in autumn. There is too much rain in autumn, and only by raising the fields can drainage be improved.

"Lin Ting, now that you're here, I've dug out this land piece by piece according to your requirements. What do you think we should do next?"

This was Shen Dali's first time planting, and although he had a lot of farming experience, he was still very careful with the seeds that Lin Ting had found with great difficulty.

"Father, give me the hoe. I'll make a hole in the soil. You can dig holes one by one according to this distance. That's it. I'll plant the seeds."

Shen Dali handed the hoe in his hand to Lin Ting and watched her dig in the ground in an orderly manner.

Lin Ting dug more than ten holes, and the people who came with them to work also came to see, and after knowing roughly how to do it, they all took up hoes to work.

Lin Ting dropped corn kernels into the nests they had dug. She put three kernels in each nest. If the seeds were not so good, she would put four kernels.

There were two uncles following behind Lin Ting. Lin Ting placed the seeds in front, and they buried the soil in the back to cover the seeds.

"Lin Ting, what the hell is this? We've lived for most of our lives, and we've never seen anything like this before."

The speaker was Li Pengyi from the village, also known as Uncle Li. He was the younger brother of the village chief of Wushan Village and was fifty years old.

"Uncle Li, this thing is from foreign countries. If I'm lucky, you'll know after it grows."

Although Li Pengyi is old, he works very efficiently.

"It's a foreign thing! No wonder we've never seen it before. You've grown so much. Are you planning to sell it for silver?"
